Manalapan and Freehold Turnpike


The Manalapan and Freehold Turnpike was a turnpike in New Jersey, running west from Freehold into Manalapan Township.
The Manalapan and Freehold Turnpike was chartered on March 18, 1863 and began at the intersection of Manalapan Avenue and West Main Street, Freehold and followed Manalapan Avenue, New Jersey Route 33 Business and New Jersey Route 33 to the Manalapan and Patton's Corner Turnpike in Manalapan. On November 17, 1886, the Manalapan and Freehold Turnpike Company purchased the western segment of the Manalapan and Patton's Corner Turnpike, which extended the route west to Manalapanville. On June 12, 1901 all of the turnpike between West Main Street, Freehold and Iron Ore Road, Manalapan was purchased by the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and incorporated into the county highway system. Much of this was later included as part of New Jersey Route 7, later New Jersey Route 33.
